Last week, Kapil had confirmed on Twitter that the family was expecting a new member. He also revealed that his show, The Kapil Sharma Show, will go off air for the same reason. Responding to a fan’s question about the show, he had said that he needs to ‘be there at home with my wife to welcome our second baby’.

Earlier in January, Kapil had tweeted, “Shubh samachaar ko English me kya kehte hain (what do you call ‘good news’ in English)?” Author Chetan Bhagat congratulated Kapil and wrote, “Congratulations ko Hindi mein kya kehte hain? Mubarak aapko bahut bahut (How do you say congratulations in Hindi? Many many congratulations to you)!” While most thought that Kapil was talking about his baby, it later turned out that he had signed a new web series with Netflix.
